Tiles for a Street in Oggebbio (Lago Maggiore)

An ancient stone wall with new tiles in a small street in a village
just some hundreds of meters above the lake (Lago Maggiore).
The Village is called Pieggio and is a 'frazione' of
Oggebbio (Verbania).
Met dank aan Marco!

more folded coffee cups

more cups,
the new ones have a different glaze;
again an alkaline one,
it gives such terrific shades of blue and turquoise.
the cup at the left (with a glaze born from an error... which liked a lot) has a rough stone like surface,
while the cup at the right has a soft velvet shine.

a strange small animal in the garden

because of the cold it preferred to come inside
it stays now quietly on top of my computer screen
Bert thinks it could be sitting on eggs..
that would mean there will be more like this?


now that I think of it,
there are already other strange animals (little dragons)
on other screens in the house
I will try and make some pictures
